One stop solution for high quality meetings

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Join.me has played a critical role in helping organisation to conduct remotely and helped us in operational costs. It also has a 14 day trial which caught our attention and we decide to go ahead with it. The employees across different timezones are able to communicate and interact effectively with the help of Join.me

Pros:

Join.me helps to organise online meetings for the company in an effective manner. There are so many user friendly options to ensure meetings are smooth eg. Video conferencing, audio calls, screen sharing, meeting recordings, one to one chat during the meetings. History of the meetings are also available and meeting recordings are mailed just after the meeting is over.

Cons:

Join.me is fantastic so far. Small area of improvement will be to further improve the UI of the features like recording to make them more intuitive. Sometimes the meetings get struck and join.me needs high internet bandwidth to conduct meetings effectively. But it's one in a while phenomenon.

5.0 4 months ago

Cons:

GoTo Meeting can be expensive if upgrading your package to include more participants to your meeting.

Avoid GOTO like the Plague!

1.0 3 months ago

Comments: Very poor at every level. Customer service is non existent. I think they try to be a low cost ZOOM and attract customers through a very low price, but understand every part of their operation is low quality, especially their management team.

Pros:

Nothing - its truly awful. I did my best to give it a chance over a long period, but it just got worse.

Cons:

Go meeting make it exceptionally difficult to cancel your subscription. Whilst you can sign up online, you cannot cancel online and have to go through their telephone support system. Expect to wait 30 to 60 minutes and then expect to be bounded between departments - without doubt its their strategy to keep charging your card year after year. The software is extremely glitchy and will often fail within meetings. Just a very poor company all round.

GoTo Meeting is the most efficient modern online meeting product.

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: GoTo Meeting has made it so easy for us to solve our meeting needs by giving us safe virtual meeting rooms to hold our meetings online. It has really saved us from all the work of planning for physical meetings and has made it possible for us to meet quickly at any given time. With GoTo Meeting, our online meetings has been very effective and interactive.

Pros:

GoTo Meeting has very advanced privacy and security features that give us the confidence to hold our private meetings virtually. I like how simple and straightforward it is to join a meeting with GoTo Meeting with just clicking the meeting link. Its video and audio quality are super clear allowing everyone in the meeting to capture all that is been shared and said during the meeting. GoTo Meeting offers a instant chatting function that allows us to share information during meetings without having to disrupt the speaker. Its screen sharing function help us to easily do online presentations during meetings.

Cons:

GoTo Meeting has not failed to impress us in any way. All we have needed from it has been delivered so no dislikes.

More professional experience

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: I feel that GoTo Meeting is very easy to use. My favorite part about it is that it gives more of a professional and business feel. I feel that many people use other platforms for personal life as well as business. I feel that when we use GoTo Meeting, it indicates a professional setting.

Pros:

I like the professional display as well as the professional invitation link.

Cons:

I did not like the brand recognition by others. I feel that some others believe that zoom and GoTo are the same product when they are not.

Click, Connect, Collaborate ,Value : Review with its Pros and Cons

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: Ultimately it all comes down to the company's specific needs, budget, or team preferences. Consider factors like required features, participant numbers, etc.
As far as my team's requirement goes it checked all our boxes.

Pros:

1. The foremost part of why one should shift to GoTo is user accessibility and how much it makes things easier for people who have no prior experience in hosting or joining online meetings. 2. The fact that it provides a blazing-fast and high-quality experience makes it more reliable.

Cons:

1. GoTo is a useful tool, but the paid subscription may be expensive for larger audiences. 2. The Limit on the duration & limited participants in the free plan make it less compliant.

Comments: I like this software and having high quality video and audio is very important for the projects we work on. I am liking the experience and ill continue using this software.

Pros:

I adore the easy-to-use navigation and stylish look of GoTo Meeting. It takes only a few seconds to get a free trial of Google Calender, and it integrates with ease. The ability to take notes on the screen during a meeting is one of the most useful features. One useful tool is the timer, which may be stopped, paused, or hidden from guests. The sessions are saved in GoTo Meeting for a year and have the ability to be recorded, paused, and resumed. Keyboard shortcuts and settings are easily accessible from within the meeting window. Eight-hour sessions are only accessible with a paid subscription, but even the 40-minute free trial is sufficient for most events.

Cons:

Outlook integration can look difficult at times. I've used Zoom and Microsoft Teams, and the interaction with Microsoft Outlook appears to be flawless. The ability to schedule meetings is a critical component of the job due to remote work. Additionally, setting those up ought to be really easy. Sometimes it takes two more clicks, and if we miss, we have to amend the invitation and send it again.

Effective platform for organizing meetings online

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: GoTo Meeting is the number one software for organizing virtual meetings. It is the best tool for the purposes of online collaboration. I like its interesting and straightforward functions. It has greatly simplified the meetings as well as conferences. It is very much secure platform. It let us have complete control and hold on our conferences for ensuring the complete security of our data.

Pros:

The thing which I liked the most about GoTo Meeting is that it is incredibly easy to use. Another big pro of GoTo Meeting is that conducting virtual meetings really becomes easy with it even if there are huge number of individuals. I also like the way its screen recording works. There are whiteboard features which are very beneficial. Screen sharing feature also creates much ease for the users.

Cons:

It is always proved to be helpful to me whenever I use this software. It is loaded with great features and functionalities. Since I'm using this software I never come across any kind of short comings yet. The only thing that rarely occurs is that loading takes a long time sometimes.

GoTo, Just Another Average Virtual Meeting site

4.0 10 months ago

Comments: Overall, it's a decent site. I wouldn't even say there are pros and cons compared to Zoom, Teams, or Google Meets. I will say it's easier than Zoom and Teams. I'm not sure what a free site would offer for users, but the multiple frames and options are more confusing that beneficial; furthermore, to change or re-arrange not intutive at first. Better use of space and keeping things simple is currently the best practice.

Pros:

For me, a savvy app navigator, I was able to get through relatively easily and work the basic functions like chat. The ability to directly message others is beneficial, but I had to explain to the other that they need to switch back to the main meeting in order to chat with the entire group (she responded to me vice the group from a group questions).

Cons:

It seems it may be good for the organizer, but for the user, it's not intuitive. Older generations may have a tough time with it since they are not as savvy, and when an app looks so different in layout/format, it's confusing of where things are.

Review of GoTo Meeting online software.

4.0 last year

Comments: Even with the little annoyances it still is the best bang for the buck in my opinion.

Pros:

It was easy to use, a snap to install, and, for the most part, works as advertised.

Cons:

Attendees can talk out of turn or speak before the other speaker is done. The microphone can be selected independently for voice or no voice but requires someone to monitor the voice link.

Great tool for Meetings!

4.0 last year

Comments: Great tool for meetings. I'd recommend this tool if the mechanics work for teams.

Pros:

It's a great tool for all needs related to online communication - audio, video, screen sharing, recording, etc.

Cons:

Integration with outlook at times look tricky. I had used MS teams and Zoom and the integration with MS outlook seems seamless. Because of remote work, setting meetings is a very important part of the job. And it should be super seamless when it comes to setting those up. Two additional clicks at times be tricky and if we miss, we need to edit the invite and resend.

You can never go wrong with Goto Meeting

5.0 last year

Comments: Honestly Goto Meeting is the real deal for us we can communicate from anywhere and still have an experience competely similar to that of virtual meetings

Pros:

GoTo Meeting is an exemplary platform that is taking the lead in the virtual meeting industry with a flexible pricing plans to suits every budget. It's user friendly UI and ease of adoption and use stands out. I can join work meetings from any device or even directly through the browser using the invite link. Also I get notified before the start of the actual meeting from then I proceed to test my connection and video using my webcam. Goto Meeting comes with an overload of presenter tools such us screens sharing where presenters can share their desktops and slides to keep the audience engaged In addition to the drawing tools. All these happen with high quality videos and audio. It is allows for recording of meeting in progress which can then be stored on cloud or shared for reference. It's integration power is another thing I find quite useful that we can launch and share meeting links directly from outlook or slack for more convenience. Also everything about the meeting platform is secure from content, videos , audios and meetings are secured in that only the invitees with passcode can join

Cons:

Goto meeting is secure and safe to host succesful virtual office meetings which gives us convenience. I therefore have nothing against it.
